Canadians - nz only arriving in Canada today or tomorrow

[Unregistered]

I just phoned Sonystyle regarding my order and the nz90's are delayed. They were supposed to be in Can. on Monday, but now they are saying Thurs or Friday, which could mean anything. Looks like another agonizing few day's wait!

You americans are lucky!!

Oh, that post was from me! It seems I was logged out...

[dks99]

I called Sony twice since Tuesday, and every time they would tell me that the NZ90 will be arriving tomorrow. Just as you said, they seem to be delaying the date every time...

I'm there with you :) same boat...

Hi dks99 --

I'm going crazy!! I have today off and I was planning on spending it with the nz! This really bites!

By the way directdial says on their site that they expect it today, and the price is 1260. Compusmart's site says Mar 5th.

Damn that we lose another weekend without it, eh? Well at least I know we share our angst together :)

[Jeff146]

Hmm do you people know any other place to get them for cheap?

or should I just wait for a price drop!?!

[zx7rgirl]

When you say cheap, how cheap are you talking? You can prob. get a Sony dealer to knock $50 cdn off it, or off a mem stick.... otherwise maybe wait until handheldcanada gets it, and then you will save the pst (if you live elsewhere than BC)...

I did the pre-order with a wifi card and screen protector for another $100 cdn. Seemed like a pretty good deal.

[dks99]

Hey zx7rgirl,

I did exactly the same (Wi-Fi and screen protection)

preordered it on Feb 5th and have been crossing out days on the wall ever since...


Jeff146,

Sony Clie prices don't seem to drop unless there is a newer replacement coming out. So if you are waiting for a cheaper price from sony it might be a while... unlless you as suggested previously try other sources ...

well when I say cheap maybe 1 grand CAD

I think it should be possible because some online retailers in the US are selling it close to that!

If only I can hope!

Here is a letter I just received from Sony Canada:

Dear Customer,

Sony Style Canada is committed to bringing you timely and important information, and to assisting you in every step of your order process. We would like to formally thank you for your patience, in waiting to be among the first in Canada to receive this greatly anticipated model!

Today we have been advised of a change to the Estimated Arrival Date of the PEG-NZ90, due to a delay at the originating factory:

We are targeting to ship this brand new CLIÉ from our Canadian warehouse by the middle of next week, March 5th 2003.

Please rest assured that you will still be among the first people in Canada to receive this new model, and that you will not be charged for this order until such time as the product is physically received and released to you.

Again, we appreciate you patience and we look forward to delivering your order to you as quickly as we possibly can. Your order, once released, will be shipped with the highest priority.

We hope you enjoy being among the first owners in Canada of this groundbreaking new CLIÉ.

[zx7rgirl]

Yes, I just got this email too :(

That just figures!! Maybe I should stay away from this board until then, otherwise I'll go stir crazy!

[zx7rgirl]

Hey Canucks,

Directdial had said backordered, now they say eta is mar. 12th. Compusmart is still the 5th.

Geeeez, I really hope it's the 5th!

I am so fed up of waiting I could say to hell with it! But then I know that would only be cutting off my nose to spite my own face... :0

[Jeff146]

Thanks for the update for us Canadians! zx7girl

[zx7rgirl]

You're welcome!! :)

[dks99]

Hey Canada,

I just received notification that my SonyStyle ordered NZ90 has been shipped. Sort of one day earlier then the few days delayed / moved shipping date... I hope I did not confuse anyone...

Now I just have to wait for Purolator to do its thing... :)

Later,
dks

Dang, we could start a NZ smuggling operation across the border and make some money. I'm sorry for you guys, I thought I had it bad having to wait an extra day.

[zx7rgirl]

Don't tease us launchman, we're like a pack of wolves watching you guys :) You're lucky dks99, I have not yet got a shipping notice from Sony. You may get yours today - this first consumer in Canada, maybe ;) Wow.

[dks99]

I wish zx7rgirl :)

Its starting to look like the situation with the US launch - there is a big snow storm in my area... everything is going to get delayed again :(

As for you, if they started sending those emails out, you can't be far behind.

BTW SonyStyle's site now shows the NZ90 as available its no longer Out of Stock.

Good Luck (to both of us :)

Hey everyone, don't forget to pray for me too. I ordered my nz90 from THE SONY STORE in a mall here in St. Catharines a week or so ago and was told "the end of this week". I don't know how far down the list the retailers are but I'm still holding my breath and hoping for Friday. Otherwise I'm gone away for the whole march break without it.

Hi Cloud Ten et al

Good news, I got an email this afternoon that mine has shipped, yay! I'll be at work all day tomorrow, so I'll have to be patient until I get home... maybe I will go in extra early so I can leave early ;)

I wonder if you got yours yet DKS99 - let us know... (yeah, nice snowfall, eh?)

I'm sure yours is not far behind, Cloud Ten!!! We feel your anxiety!!

[dks99]

Hey zx7rgirl

I got it :)

I received the email note about it shipping on Tuesday evening and the clie was at my door on Wed morning

So far the only thing I'm disappointed with is the stylus.
I'm working on getting all my data from the N710 to the NZ90

[zx7rgirl]

WOWEEE!!! That's awesome. I'm so excited for you!!! I can feel it's presence from over here - so now I know it's real :) Congrats dks99!! Happy charging and transferring. I pray we grow strong, healthy batteries!

[Cloud Ten]

FYI
My assistant is on her way to the SONY STORE to pick up my new nz90!!!!!!!!

[zx7rgirl]

Alright!! Good jod Cloud Ten! Mine was here when I got home. Worked out nicely for us, I'd say. Sweeeet!

[Cloud Ten]

now it's just drum your fingers on the desk for four hours while it charges!

[zx7rgirl]

Yaa, waiting and waiting... hopefully only 3 hrs to go.....at least we finally get to stare at it in person though.

[Marudine]

make a candid smile and take your first pic with the nz

[zx7rgirl]

That will have to do for now... no sleep and lotsa work makes me very tired... I played with my new nz for 15 min., so far I am in love...
